Vin feels the love in Cuba

Ac­tor Vin Diesel ges­tures to the crowd watch­ing the pre­sen­ta­tion of fash­ion de­signer Karl Lagerfeld’s ‘cruise’ line for fash­ion house Chanel, at the Paseo del Prado street in Ha­vana, Cuba. With the heart of the Cuban cap­i­tal ef­fec­tively pri­va­tised by an in­ter­na­tional cor­po­ra­tion un­der the watch­ful eye of the Cuban state, the pre­miere of Chanel 2016/2017 ‘cruise’ line was a sur­pris­ing sight in a coun­try of­fi­cially ded­i­cated to so­cial equal­ity and the re­jec­tion of ma­te­rial wealth.
